Chapter 102 Attitudes of All Parties

Gamma A is about to become a beta-level AI core.

Chen Ming knew about this before.

But Gamma A also said that it was still a little short of substantial improvement.

During this period, apart from the three mechanical chips that Chen Ming gave it, which were almost useless, there was nothing that could make Gamma A improve so quickly.

The only possibility is that Yuhui arranged it, and Yuhui gave Gamma A the computing power required to meet the conditions for improvement.

As for whether this is the case, it will be a matter of investigation.

Chen Ming opened the panel of Qu Guang, and then he found that Qu Guang was staying outside a factory in the Yuhui Industrial Colony.

And it was also the same independent small supply point as Chen Ming, an independent small factory.

Although Qu Guang stopped here, Gamma A had been removed from Qu Guang at this time.

However, Chen Ming was still able to determine the location of Gamma A.

It was inside the factory next to it.

The core should be replaced.

It seems that the sudden improvement of Gamma A was indeed Yuhui's initiative.

They still don't believe that Chen Ming has no ability to control the AI ​​core, so they decided to replace the core of Gamma A, which is suspected of being controlled by Chen Ming.

This is the best choice that cannot be faulted from a rational and logical point of view, and Chen Ming cannot comment on it.

Otherwise, it is equivalent to helping Yu Hui thoroughly prove that he has this ability.

But even if Gamma A has to change its carrier, Chen Ming is still confident that his psychic power will continue.

Because his panel shows [AI individual controlled], not [AI core controlled].

Yu Hui does not distinguish according to the core, but according to the existence in the core.

I just don't know whether Yu Hui will reinstall Gamma A back to the refraction after replacing Gamma A, or will try to give Gamma A a new spaceship.

Chen Ming doesn't think that Yu Hui will relax his vigilance against Gamma A just because of the replacement of the shell, and there may be other temptations later.

It seems that it will take time for Gamma A to replace the Beta-class core.

Chen Ming didn't wait all the time, and there are other things to do at the moment.

Deal with those military escape pods.

Chen Ming walked into the warehouse and used the control panel in the warehouse to control the equipment connecting the work area and the warehouse, as well as some robots with various functions.

He transported the escape pod in the warehouse to the next door and began to remove the outer layer he had added with the panel before.

The cryo-hibernation device has been activated inside the escape pod, and it will remain frozen unless it is activated from the outside.

So Chen Ming is not worried that the soldiers inside will take the opportunity to escape after the outer shell is removed.

After a busy period of time, Chen Ming found the escape pod carrying the soldier in special military uniform among these escape pods.

At the same time, Chen Ming also saw the eagle mark on his chest and the "ⅩⅣ" through the transparent porthole of the escape pod.

Before, when Chen Ming's terminal network was not disconnected inside the hyperspace, he took the opportunity to check it.

This mark is the mark of the 14th Independent Empire Legion.

Chen Ming was once just an ordinary maintenance technician, and at most he knew that the military had many different departments.

From the highest Star Field Joint War Zone Military, to the next Star Field Military, to the Star Region Military, and to the lowest and most scattered Star System Garrisons.

In addition, the Empire has some independent legions outside this system. Apart from this, Chen Ming is not very clear.

He only found out after checking that the Fourteenth Legion is currently recognized as the strongest of the 20 independent legions in the Empire.

It is no wonder that the battles commanded by the commander of the Fourteenth Legion can limit Chen Ming's ability everywhere.

The Fourteenth Legion has the largest exclusive territory among all independent legions.

Although it is smaller in area than the Star Field Joint War Zone Military, the Star Field Military and the Star Region Military, the income of all colonies within the galaxy is equivalent to the military expenditure of the legion.

As a result, the combat capability of the Fourteenth Legion is often stronger than that of some war zone militaries.

And according to what Chen Ming found out, the Fourteenth Legion was actually quite weak before.

It was after a reorganization about twenty years ago, and after many battles with Yuhui on the front battlefield, that it reached its current heyday.

I don't know why the people from the 14th Legion suddenly came here.

Through the transparent porthole of the escape pod, Chen Ming could see not only the military uniform, but also a face of a man about the same age as Chen Ming, and the military badge hanging on his chest.

The commander's name was Cheng Xinghe, and his rank was only captain.

Looking at Cheng Xinghe with his eyes closed in the escape pod, Chen Ming's face was a little hesitant.

In fact, he didn't have much hatred for the military, especially the 14th Legion from outside.

After all, it was normal for soldiers to obey orders.

There is a perpetrator for every wrong, and for Chen Ming, the only people who have hatred are the military high-ranking officials who issued the order to track down Chen Ming, and those who are in cahoots with the high-ranking officials and would rather kill Chen Ming for Sky Steel.

Of course, there is also the psychic who blocked the boss' rescue.

And Chen Ming has no intention of killing these captives or avenging those who died in the previous battle.

Doing so is completely useless to Chen Ming, and he can only say that he is not familiar with the people in the company.

Thirty years have passed, and the people he used to know have either retired or died.

There is no one familiar.

And to be honest, Chen Ming used to have only ordinary colleagues with other people, and it is hard to say whether they are familiar or not.

Now, let alone those who have only known each other for a few hours on the cattle drive.

The company gave them the order, and the company will naturally take care of their affairs, and Chen Ming does not need to worry about it.

If Chen Ming becomes rich in the future and feels sorry, he can find a way to compensate, but now Chen Ming himself is a little bit vulnerable, so he still puts himself first.

So instead of thinking about these, it is better to think about whether there is any way to use these captives.

However, Chen Ming has not yet figured out how to use these captives.

Although there is a simplest and crude way, throw them to Yu Hui.

They will naturally take these escape pods to the human government military to exchange for something.

Yu Hui will definitely give Chen Ming some benefits.

But Chen Ming doesn't think it's a good idea.

It feels like the value of these captives is wasted in vain.

And Chen Ming actually has some other ideas about Cheng Xinghe.

The military fleet's previous strong combat power that far exceeds the paper power has not yet faded in Chen Ming's heart.

Chen Ming never thought that the fleet could make such a delicate and exquisite operation that requires Chen Ming's orders.

Just relying on the command skills of the battle can exert the strength that can completely offset the advantages brought by Chen Ming.

This gives Chen Ming the feeling.

As long as the company's command is exchanged with Cheng Xinghe, even if the company's fleet strength is reduced by one third, with Chen Ming's ability, the army can still be defeated.

And it just so happens that Chen Ming now wants to organize a fleet of his own.

Then if Cheng Xinghe can be the commander of the fleet, if Chen Ming can persuade Cheng Xinghe to join his fleet.

That will definitely have a very terrifying effect.

Although Chen Ming thinks this probability is not high, there is always a dream.

And the current commander's environment also makes Chen Ming's thoughts in his heart linger for a long time.

Cheng Xinghe has now lost his ship, his fleet, and has been captured by Chen Ming. He is alone, which is simply the most vulnerable time in his life.

Even if he cannot join Chen Ming's fleet to take command.

Chen Ming can also try to use his freedom in exchange for him to teach Chen Ming, or teach Gamma AB some command skills.

Chen Ming is thinking about flexible skills on the battlefield, not rigid text knowledge.

He believes that Cheng Xinghe can do this.

Even if only so much can be achieved in the end, it is of great value to Chen Ming.

As long as the commander Cheng Xinghe can be dealt with, it is actually equivalent to dealing with the rest of the army.

The remaining 62 people, even if they are different from Cheng Xinghe, are also of considerable value.

Chen Ming reached out and patted the escape pod, feeling a little impatient.

But he also knew that things were not done that way, and what he had just thought of had to be postponed.

His fleet had no hair at all, and waking up Cheng Xinghe now would not be of any benefit to Chen Ming.

It must be discussed later.

I just don't know if the military will come to find them during this period of time.

Chen Ming was not too worried about this, anyway, there was Yu Hui blocking outside, and this was also the risk that Yu Hui wanted Chen Ming to take.

After removing the outer shells that Chen Ming had added to all the escape pods, Chen Ming also spent some time recording the identity of each person's military card.

By the way, a piece of paper recording the identity was posted outside each escape pod for easy reference later.

After finishing this matter, there was still a lot of time left today, and Chen Ming still planned to use it for study.

After the official work assigned by Yu Hui was completed tomorrow, Chen Ming would try to ask Yu Hui for some other things.

Chen Ming and Yu Hui now have an awkward cooperative relationship.

Since Chen Ming made some reasonable requests, Yu Hui couldn't refuse without reason.

At the same time.

Company headquarters.

It had been quite a while since Chen Ming was taken away by Yu Hui.

Chen Ming left the space station at around three in the morning, and after a lot of things he arrived at the Yu Hui colony.

It was already morning of that day, and the last meeting was about this time, a little earlier.

One day later, the directors who had been busy for more than 20 hours gathered in the meeting room again.

At the beginning of the meeting, everyone looked at the director who was handling military affairs.

The director spread his hands and said, "Well, as you already know, the problem on the military side has exploded, and the Gamma-2 star zone has been completely taken over by the Fourteenth Army."

"Is the Fourteenth Army really here? And take over in person?"

"It seems that the person who was killed by their own people before has some status."

"It may also be that they are protecting their shortcomings. This should be good news for us, right?"

The director in charge of military affairs looked at the last director who asked a question and said, "But-"

"They immediately issued a wanted notice for Chen Ming, saying that Chen Ming secretly communicated with Yu Hui and betrayed the empire. The previous bounty of 90 million was increased to 200 million again."

"I specifically asked them about the Lin The person in charge at the time seemed to be a temporary recruit from the local military who was fine in the 14th Corps. He was not familiar with many things. "

"They didn't say what the wanted order was about. The answer was ambiguous. They just said they were busy and there was no rush to deal with such things. Let's wait."

"I don't understand what they mean."

The director next to him guessed: "Could it be that Chen Ming's psychic power has been discovered by the military? So decisive? Don't leave any way for others."

"It should be that the surviving military personnel saw the Yuhui ship taking Chen Ming away."

"And there were residual energy fluctuations of Yuhui's tachyon spear at the scene, and they would know that it was Yuhui who killed the ruler. This cannot be concealed. "

"And the news that Chen Ming is a psychic should have leaked out. He was previously hunted by the military fleet, and it is impossible for him to hide the ability he has already exerted."

"Then it is normal to think that Chen Ming can control the afterglow."

"The key is not whether the connection can be made, but other things."

The director in charge of the military affairs suddenly made a stop gesture and said, "Wait a minute, there is one more thing."

"The wanted notice they issued is at the star zone level, not the star field level, and is only valid within the star zone."

The meeting room suddenly fell silent for a while, until a famous director asked, "Why is this? Wanted, but not completely wanted, the 14th Legion What do you mean?"

"Whatever it means, the situation is fine. The star-level bounty doesn't matter at all. A star-level bounty is always just a star-level bounty. It doesn't matter if there is no star-level wanted order."

"You can't say it doesn't matter. Chen Ming has a star-level wanted order on him, and the government will definitely find out when the time comes."

"And Chen Ming was really taken away by Yu Hui. What will the government do? Did he have a secret relationship with Yu Hui? Or will he be regarded as a prisoner of Yu Hui?"

"If there is a problem, just find a way to solve it. Our relationship with Chen Ming's star-level government is not too bad now. Just let us know about this kind of thing."

The directors quickly discussed it and determined their opinions on how this matter might develop, and also brought up the next topic.

"In that case, the Sky Steel issue should be dealt with. How is the communication with the government going?"

"Yes, we have the mining rights certificate and the evidence of Chen Ming's departure from the galaxy. What does the government say?"

The director who took the initiative to contact the government said expressionlessly: "When I asked, the government told us about Chen Ming and Sky Steel."

"Which one do you want to listen to first? Chen Ming or Sky Steel?"

"Chen Ming."

Seeing that the other directors had no objections, the director in charge of contacting the government said: "The government has confirmed Chen Ming's situation based on the information we have given, and they are very interested in Chen Ming."

"As long as there is accurate information about Chen Ming, the government said that it can forgive the past incident of the armor-piercing class, and will make up for the damaged armor-piercing class later, and it can also give us priority bidding rights and more ship orders in the future."

"I remember that the armor-piercing class was recovered by us, right? How to deal with it? ”

“Chen Ming’s ability has not been fully understood yet. Even if the Armor Breaker is destroyed, he may still be able to control it.”

The chairman, who had been silent but just listening, suddenly said, “When the Armor Breaker passed the bid, it had already started production, right?”

A director sitting in the corner nodded and said, “Yes, but there has been no new output except for the sample.”

“Then concentrate the productivity on one line and find a Armor Breaker to deal with it first.”

“As for this Armor Breaker, repair it first. If Chen Ming can come back, give him the ship directly. This Armor Breaker can serve as proof of our friendship with him and reduce the conflict when we sell it to him later.”

“No one except him can touch the ship that has been touched by him.”

“If he can’t come back, there are two situations.”

“If he dies, there is no need to worry about the problem of this Armor Breaker.”

“If he is not dead, we can only take it first and see how Chen Ming is in the future.”

"We have confirmed that the military and the government are aware of Chen Ming's abilities. They have more things to consider than us, and they will definitely not let Chen Ming continue to stay with Yu Hui."

"They didn't have to spend energy to find those ordinary technicians who went to Yu Hui before, but Chen Ming, a psychic, is different."

"The military will definitely take action later, and we don't need to keep this armor-piercing ship for too long."

"But."

The chairman suddenly said very seriously: "Have you thought about the problem?"

"Things have come to this point, which means that no matter what, the military and the government will definitely help us clean up our mess in order to prevent Yu Hui from becoming stronger."

"But if we don't take the initiative to clean up, then our mess is likely to be lost, not to mention other things."

"If Chen Ming falls into the hands of the military or the government, whether Chen Ming is a member of the company or whether he ran away from the mining space station will not be up to us."

After looking around the conference table and making sure that everyone understood what he said,

The chairman changed the subject first, giving the people working on it time to think: "What about Sky Steel? What does the government say?"

The director in charge of the government said: "The government said that this matter and Chen Ming's matter should be considered separately. The government can at most help us communicate with the military and ask them to lift the blockade of the galaxy."

"But the military should be tortured by the 14th Legion now, right?"

The director in charge of military affairs next to him said: "Torture is torture, only the general command of the star region military is now paralyzed, and other places are still the same."

"When I communicated with them before, they just replaced a group of internal people with clean people, so the military leaders who can contact the government are basically in the same situation."

"As long as Chen Ming can be brought back first, the government can directly arrange a meeting for us with the military people left there, which means that the government is on our side."

However, the chairman asked at this time: "Then what about Chen Ming?"

The conference room fell into silence again.

"Our company has never lost a technician or an afterglow core before. I didn't expect that this first case was a psychic."

"What can we do? If the military hadn't been causing trouble, we would have brought the person back long ago. It's not like they can really blame us."

"Is there any other way to find Chen Ming?"

The director in charge of the Pirate Space Station suddenly said, "Actually, I have an idea. The military is now in a state of panic. I think we can bypass all the twists and turns and try to enter RM-2 directly."

"Chen Ming was able to get out alive before, so can we. As long as we confirm that there is no danger, the opening of the galaxy is also a foregone conclusion, and the mining rights can return to us."

His proposal was immediately rejected by other directors: "It's too easy to give people a reason to criticize this, and we can't catch the military's problems. "

"Chen Ming was on the space station thirty years ago, and he can definitely recover what we lost in the past thirty years. Without this handle, what should we do with the Sky Steel we lost?"

The director of the Pirate Space Station asked back: "Do you think these Sky Steels can be recovered? Sky Steel is definitely related to the interests of a lot of people. We can still recover one or two people, but I can only say that it's wishful thinking if there are more people."

"But at least we can recover some of it, and the less loss, the better."

"Do you have the information Chen Ming gave us before? The data we secretly verified can confirm that the number of Sky Fish in the galaxy is about seventy."

"If Chen Ming comes back alone, it will be enough to offset the Sky Steel production for five years, right?"

"Five years, one thousand eight hundred days, seventy Sky Fish's Sky Steel, what do you say?"

The director in charge of the Pirate Space Station was silent.

The director also interrupted the topic at this time and said: "I think it is better to go from Chen Ming. We can't rush into RM-2, which is now at least nominally blocked by the military."

"This galaxy is likely to be taken over by the 14th Legion in the future. The 14th Legion is not so easy to get along with."

"And their attitude is not clear yet. They issued a wanted notice for Chen Ming, but it is only a star zone wanted notice. It may be a warning to us to wait until they integrate the military."

"We can't handle the star zone joint war zone in this marginal star zone, let alone the 14th Legion. Don't offend them."

A director who agreed with the director of the Pirate Space Station suddenly said: "But we can't handle the military of a star zone under the war zone. Isn't it more difficult for the 14th Legion, which is in its heyday, to completely take over the galaxy?"

The chairman responded: "That can't be said. It can be seen from the sky steel that we are not facing the star zone military, but the people at the higher level."

"Do you think they might give up these sky steels? If we choose to get the sky steel back in a way that obviously violates the rules, do you believe that even the government may not recognize it?"

"We can only achieve our goal in the most legal way through Chen Ming. We need to bring him back before the military and the government take action. Otherwise, we may not even get the Sky Steel."

As soon as the chairman finished speaking, someone asked, "How to save them? Those Afterglow AIs we have would rather be destroyed and hidden than reveal the details of the Afterglow Star Domain."

"Unless we can crack the core of the Afterglow AI and control them 100%, we can't expect anything at all."

"Chen Ming seems to be able to control it."

"Then find another Chen Ming."

The chairman knocked on the table to stop the quarrel that was about to break out.

But one director suddenly said: "In fact, if we withdraw now, the loss is not too big. Is the value of Chen Ming really enough for us to continue to invest?"

The chairman frowned and said: "Have you forgotten that there is Sky Steel?"

"And this matter is actually an opportunity for us."

"Even if we take Chen Ming back, we can announce that Chen Ming is dead and hide him completely."

"We no longer need to distribute Chen Ming's own value, and we can use it 100%."

The director just now still said somewhat disagreeably: "But if this fails, the loss will be greater."

"The company has never failed in business? This loss is at most a skin break for the company, but if Chen Ming can be taken back, his ability can bring us endless benefits."

The director who proposed to use the company's products that are still being tested yesterday asked uncertainly: "You mean... use that thing?"

The chairman paused, nodded slowly and said: "Start applying to the government in advance, he The previous performance was to save resources and let us solve Chen Ming's affairs. "" Then we took Chen Ming away from us, which was much easier for them to take Chen Ming. " Do you use this thing to vote? "" Chairman, do you still refuse to call yesterday? " They went, we couldn't get anything. "" And calling this kind of thing was not for myself. You did not oppose it yesterday, nor did he initiate a vote, and he must also hold the mentality of yesterday. A minute later, the chairman looked at the projection screen in front of him.

"Seven votes in favor, four against, two abstentions, passed."

A director who voted in favor immediately said: "It's passed, but how should we find Chen Ming?"

The chairman said with a plan in mind: "Yesterday, an employee Chen Ming knew got on his civilian Sentinel at the Pirate Space Station."

"The door opened automatically, and this scene was deliberately not avoided from surveillance. Chen Ming is still alive, and even living well with Yu Hui."

"But he didn't contact us."

"But we can contact him."

"He must have some purpose for not contacting us when he went to Yu Hui. We will give him what he needs."

"Unless what he wants exceeds the benefits of mining sky steel, Chen Ming has never acted stupid, right?"

"We have collected a lot of Yu Hui's things over the years. I don't believe we don't have what he needs."

"Find a way to contact Chen Ming through the relationship of the space station and find out his location."

"Prepare for the other side first."

"Prepare to launch our main battleship, Conqueror."
